Bromodomain-containing protein 4 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the BRD4 gene.[1][2]

The protein encoded by this gene is homologous to the murine protein MCAP, which associates with chromosomes during mitosis, and to the human RING3 protein, a serine/threonine kinase. Each of these proteins contains two bromodomains, a conserved sequence motif which may be involved in chromatin targeting. This gene has been implicated as the chromosome 19 target of translocation t(15;19)(q13;p13.1), which defines the NUT midline carcinoma. Two alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described.[2]

Interactions

BRD4 has been shown to interact with RFC2,[3] RFC3,[3] RFC1,[3] RFC4[3] and RFC5.[3]

Structures

Several 3D structures of individual domains of BRD4 have been solved, some in complex with inhibitor molecules
